I'd really love the ability to choose where to store attachments on a per type basis. You should be able to store certain attachment types in the file system and others in the DB. I think this would be a great addition and was wondering if someone could possibly make a mod to do it?

You shouldn't store any attachments in the DB it causes unnecessary overhead and load on the DB as well as makes the DB grow huge.
But hopefully someone maybe able to accommodate your needs

Thanks for the reply. I understand it is favorable to use the file system and I do, but I'd prefer to store all my image and text files in the file system and everything else in the DB. The reasoning is because certain attachment related mods require them to be stored in the DB while others only work with the File system and I think more control over where each file type is stored would be sweet to have.
